THERESA May faces a vote of no confidence in her government "soon", Jeremy Corbyn has warned, as the British prime minister issued a last-ditch plea to MPs to back her Brexit deal or risk staying in the EU.

FORMER first minister Alex Salmond has called on Scotland's top civil servant to quit her post after accusing her of "wasting" hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money defending the administration's "unlawful" handling of sexual misconduct allegations against him.

THE European Union says it has no plans for talks on renegotiating Theresa May's Brexit deal after the prime minister said she was seeking "further assurances" from Brussels to help it through Parliament.
